We are very confident now: Bailey

Australian skipper George Bailey remained confident of a strong show against India ahead of the sixth ODI in Nagpur on Wednesday.

The visitors lead the series 2-1 with two matches still to be played and Bailey said he was pleased with how his team has done so far in India, the same country when another touring party from Down Under were mauled earlier in the year.

"We are very happy to be 2-1 up. We have played some very good cricket. We look forward to Wednesday's game. The three (finished) games have been outstanding. We are finding a lot of confidence at the moment. That stems from the way the tour has gone so far," Bailey said at the pre-match press conference.

"I am quite happy most of the time. I am enjoying the tour. We are playing some good cricket," he added.

Australia's batsmen have been extremely dominating so far and they have countered the Indian spinners R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja rather well. While Ashwin had taken 29 wickets in the Test series, Jadeja had pocketed 24 but both have come under heavy fire from the Aussie batsmen this time.

"We have been pretty consistent with our batting and probably most important is, we are clear about our roles over the last 6-7 games (going back to series v England)," said Bailey, who has been his side's highest scorer by a long distance with 98 as his best effort so far.

Australia have amassed 300-plus totals in three matches and a solid 295 in the rained-off fourth ODI at Ranchi.

"From what I have seen, it looks like the pitches have been very different to the ones during the Test matches though I was not part of that team (led by Michael Clarke which was whitewashed by India 4-0)," he said.

The incident happened in the 29th over and Jadeja was found to have breached Article 2.1.4 of the ICC Code of Conduct which relates to 'using language or a gesture that is obscene, offensive or insulting during an International Match'.

Rohit Sharma hammered only the third double century in ODIs as India defeated Australia by 57 runs in the seventh and final ODI to win a bilateral series over the visitors for the first time since 1986.

India will yet again rely on their batting firepower as they seek to clinch the one-day series against an equally-determined Australia when the two teams clash in the seventh and final match on Saturday in what promises to be another high-scoring thriller.
